Allison’s co-star Janney apparently had a hard time kissing the Oscar-winning actress.
The “mom” star, who appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Thursday, revealed that a mysterious scene partner once asked her to apply Neosporin to her lips before filming a kiss scene.
Antibiotic ointment is used to reduce the risk of infections from minor skin injuries.
“Even before COVID, I had a scene partner with whom I had to kiss, and he was a germaphobic, he put Neosporin on his lips and asked me to put them on mine too, before he kissed me”, 61 year old remembered .

Janney, who declined to reveal the identity of his co-star, admitted that he did not know whether Neosporin would actually prevent the spread of germs or not.
“I took it personally, however,” she said. “Where does he think I put my mouth? It kind of unnerved me, but, you know, people are germaphobic.”
Janney clarified that the co-star in question was not Howie Mandel. Judge “America’s Got Talent” spoke publicly about having obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), as well as misophobia, a pathological fear of germs and contamination, reported Page Six.
“You may think so, but no, it wasn’t Howie Mandel,” said Janney. “I won’t say who it was.”

Janney revealed that the “Mom” cast and crew are tested regularly for coronavirus to continue filming the CBS sitcom.
“I audition almost seven to eight times a week, depending on whether or not I’m going to do kiss scenes,” she said.
